About My Clients
If you're like me, you are a young (or maybe middle) adult who is just trying to figure it all out. If you are neurodivergent (or suspect you might be), you are often enthusiastic and creative but also anxious and overwhelmed. Throw in the pressures of work, school, relationships, kids, and navigating the world as a queer person, and you might just have a perfect storm of burnout and paralysis. All of this can be a lot, but I am here to help you to get unstuck. We're in this together.
My Background and Approach
In my practice, I draw from lots of different theories and approaches, but I gravitate towards mindfulness-based ones like self-compassion and acceptance and commitment therapy the most. This means that I'm less interested in slapping labels on you than I am in helping you find the most helpful and workable strategies that fit your life. I always like to start with getting unmanaged symptoms (like panic attacks or emotional dysregulation) stabilized first so you feel some immediate relief. Along the way, we'll address some of the Big Stuff: unaddressed neurodivergence and underdeveloped executive functioning skills, low self-worth, harsh inner criticism, and even un-explored trauma. The goal is to get you to a place where your life is working for you and you are treating yourself with more kindness and love.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
* I believe that humans are fundamentally good because we all have the capacity to change. * I believe in activism, radical acceptance, and unconditional love for everyone. * I believe in zero tolerance for intolerance and bigotry. * I believe that therapy doesn't always have to be doom and gloom, and I believe that it is for everyone. * I believe that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the greatest television program of all time, but I'll try not to talk your ear off if you ask me about it. (No promises.) * I believe we can always learn more, reflect more, and love more.
